If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

A screenshot of a repost by Elon Musk of a tweet from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog). The tweet reads: β€œTransgenderism is a death cult. The largest, most well funded, and deranged death cult that this country has ever seen.”

They're going to keep going until they get trans people killed. They want trans people murdered en mass.

We are back in that cycle where if you’re busy for 4 hours it’s like you were in a medically induced coma for weeks

I was at first taken aback and sad (my mom loves him) but then I realized The Colbert Report kicked the Late Show’s badonkadonk. This could active a great thing.

I got a new pediatrician after one of them tried to sell me on that story, and I’m so glad we did.

The tariffs were declared illegal in May. If the Appeals and SCOTUS courts uphold that opinion, Trump will have to give all this back (but CONSUMERS don't get paid back).

The Democratic Party will never be a party of the working class under the two party system. In this system, parties need 50%+1 of the vote to win any representation.

But, only about 30-35% of Americans are working class. The party will always include capitalist interests in a two party system.

U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.

"The United States has reached its highest annual measles case tally in 33 years, hitting at least 1,277 confirmed cases across 38 states and the District of Columbia."

Making measles great again.

Opinion | Trump has destroyed all our norms. It will be the responsibility of Democrats to restore them.

And here I am like, β€œI’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time telling people who hate the β€˜Guadaloop’ pronunciation of Guadalupe’ that they have to STFU because I’m sure they aren’t pronouncing β€˜Los Angeles’ in Spanish.” But nobody knows who I am!

It might help if we the people did interact with our representatives in a significant enough quantity of interaction to exert influence.

I was just listening to an interview regarding Ryan Garcia β€œand other vibes voters” and a couple great points were made (by Van Lathan): 1.) vibes are the most fickle of things and 2.) people need to read the fine print and know what they are voting for.

Since Trump inauguration: Gaza escalated, Ukraine escalated, Israel-Iran escalated. Trump is a walking permission slip to every strongman to do whatever they want, and it propelling the world into ever-more violence and chaos

Oh yes we should get right on top of impeaching someone who isn't in office. That makes perfect sense. That is definitely more important than grocery costs, interest rates, and access to health care.

This clip makes me think the cameraman was the actual target, and Barney Fife is just a terrible shot.
